The Sydney Opera House is one of the most distinctive and famous buildings worldwide. It is an extremely aesthetically pleasing architectural masterpiece, and is a hugely popular tourist attraction. This photo captures the majestic beauty of the building, displaying its brilliant 'sails' perfectly.
285:
Just sharpening the original image simply brought out the noise around the edges of the sails. However, my typical panacaea of a 50% downsample (leaving it smaller, but still over the 1000px mark), despeckling the sky, sharpening (60%), and adjusting the levels has brought out a sharper, though
398:
Sorry, I wasn't clear: I meant "another edit" to be one besides edit 1 (an even better one), because I weak oppose edit 1 along with the original (See above reasons). I'll add a little note that to my vote.
357:(of course), but in all fairness, I think we've had this discussion before. However, the people who are opposing on technical reasons might want to see what the Photoshop whizzes around here can do first.
295:
I disagree with downsampling because it's probably best to leave as much detail in a picture as possible. The automatic resizing on the image page should suffice if people want to see a smaller version.
268:
If no one else does, I will give improving it a go. While the composition of the former FP is great, this has some additional encycloepdic value, there's no reason we can't have two of them. -

This one is a close call, but many of the supports were weak supports, so I gave them a little less weight. +4 support/+4 weak support/-3 oppose/-1 weak oppose.

Yes, and I wished people would tell me when my pictures get nominated :P I only happened to wander onto here because I'm rather bored at the moment. Umm,

Outstanding photo. Very close to perfection. If someone were to sharpen it with a light touch, it just might become the perfect photo of the subject.
